Made it to therapy. Frustrated as hell with the privilege my counselor is steeped in.... she doesn't get that I live in a shitty neighborhood and going to a book club would be great but when that means taking the bus home after dark it's not terribly safe and I have to weigh the pluses and minuses carefully. Also made the mistake of introducing her to spoon theory and got the same rage-inducing remark I got from a former, really bad therp: "But I find I have more spoons when I use them!" Do they stamp it in their brains or something?
But I did two nice things at the clinic this morning, so I'm glad I went. I gave some tissue to a guy who started crying during group, and I remembered to bring a CD I'd burned for another regular. So I was able to be kind in small ways, which makes me feel a little better about myself.
Ordered cat food, cat litter, dishwasher detergent, instant mashed potatoes, linen spray and an e-book off of Amazon. So I've been productive.

And, yeah. There's a lot of debate in the field, IIRC, about meeting HIPAA standards for online therapy for starters, so ugh. Good times.

That's so frustrating. It would help me so much! Imagine being able to pick a therapist based on specialties, not location... and of course it would make note taking easy.
Of course, the sort of therp who would be an early adopter for online therapy might find my reality tunnel less alien... hmmm.

Yeah! And with CISPA by whatever name being at least potentially a thing, I fear it's likely to stay that way for a while, because on top of the sheer technical challenges the legal challenges factor in. Which is sad. :(
